5 New Library Booster Sound Effect Bundles Released

Last week I released a sound effects library, Variety 3. Thank you to everyone who downloaded it, mentioned it on Twitter, and emailed me!

Today I have another announcement. I’m releasing five new sound effect libraries. They’re available exclusively here, on Airborne Sound.

Today I’ll share a bit about the idea behind the sound fx collections, and briefly describe each library. At the end of this post I’ll share a discount code for 50% off these new collections, good for the next 48 hours only.

Use that discount in the next two days, and you’ll receive 1,450 high-definition sound effects in over 12 gigabytes of audio for $39.50.

Five New Sound Collections

Last year I released what I called “Library Builder Bundles.” They were the most popular sound effect collections I’ve ever offered. Thank you for your support!

Many of you wrote me saying you liked the idea. So today, I’m offering five new Library Builder Bundles.

They are: Household, Human, Kitchen, Bathroom, and Office.

Wait. Doesn’t everybody have these sound fx already? It’s true, they may. But that’s the reason I created these libraries in the first place. What do I mean?

Why Release Library Builder Bundles?

Options

Well, when I decided to release the Library Builder Bundles, they weren’t intended to replace the collection you have. After all, if you’ve been editing for any time at all, it’s likely you have access to a respectable collection already.

Instead, the Library Builder Bundles are meant to augment your sound collection that you already have. Why? I’ve cut sound myself. I know what it’s like to try to wrestle a sole, lonesome clip repeatedly to picture. A single version of a take won’t do the trick. You need multiple takes so you can piece together the sound you hear in your mind. The bundles are meant to give options. That’s why each Builder Bundle includes multiple versions, takes, and perspectives. This provides flexibility.

The bundles fill the holes in your collection, or freshen your library with new takes to play with.

Support

Instead, they’re what I call foundation sound effects. These types of clips are the backbone of your collection. They find their way into every project. Sure, you’ll cut in laser battles, speedboats, and tank volleys. But those headliners don’t work alone. The Library Builder Bundles are meant to fortify your creations with subtler, supporting clips. They fill the scenes between the battles and drama. So, my idea when creating the Library Builder Bundles was for them to be the “best supporting actors” in your soundscape.

Light On The Wallet

Finally, I’ve worked to keep the price of these bundles low. Why? Well, you’ve likely spent cash on an existing collection of foundation sound effects already. Think of these bundles as an inexpensive way to give your existing library a boost. Each pack is less than $20, and is downloaded instantly and securely.

Don’t have a sound library of your own yet? I wanted to offer an affordable “starter library” to those of you just starting out. These five sound effect libraries give you an instant boost of almost 1,500 of the most commonly-used clips for $39.50 in the next two days, and $79 after that.

The New Library Builder Bundles

Household

This is a big one: 400 clips in over 4 gigabytes of audio. It has the backbone clips: doors, alarms, fans, zippers, and so on. It also has a good mix of appliances: air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, fridges, and more.

I thought room tones may help you, too. So I added 18 of them. They include small and medium rooms with HVAC, fridge tones, washrooms, stairwells, and more.

Kitchen

This collection is a mix of appliances, activity, and Foley. It includes cooking, cleaning, blenders, and beer bottles. There are chopping sounds, eggshell crushing, knife sharpening, oil sizzling, and more.

Bathroom

How much sonic mischief can one get up to in a restroom? Plenty, as it turns out. This collection has 170 bathroom sound fx. It includes the cornerstone clips such as showers, washing, bath tubs, and toilets.

Office

My favourite part of the Office collection are the technology sound effects. There are dozens of hard drive whines, ticks and clicks. It includes printers, PCs, computer mice, cameras, and web servers.

I haven’t forgotten the more subtle clips, though: books, bags, paper, briefcases, file cabinets, and more. There’s a good selection of phones, too: a mix of 28 cordless, rotary, and mobile phone fx and ring tones.
